Dumb Kardashian quesetion

DH asked me this and I have no idea  - How did the Kardashians get rich/become well known enough to be worth "keeping up" with? I get why they have money now but what did they do before the show?

Re: Dumb Kardashian quesetion

  • I think they were just famous because of their dad being one of OJ's lawyers, and Kim got a lot of publicity being Paris Hilton's friend back when Paris was relevant.
  • yep - father was OJ lawyer  = rich.

    Kim had a sex tape = famous

  • Like PP said, a lot of the initial publicity was from the dad being a trial lawyer for OJ.  Then there was a snow ball effect with these events:

    The mom married Bruce Jenner (pretty famous olympian), The Hills made Brody Jenner kind of famous (Bruce's son), Kim hangs out with Paris Hilton and other Hollywood socialites, and then the big one--- Kim makes a sex tape with Ray J.

  • I agree with what has been said. But also I always thought the show title was a spin of the "keeping up with the Jones" term... so not just keeping up with what they're doing via a reality show but the idea of keeping up with a rich family and wanting what they have, etc.

  • Thanks. I didn't know about the sex tape or OJ trial stuff. That makes a little more sense.

  • It's SO funny because someone just asked me this question today. We were discussing how Kris isn't rich enough for Kim and they're gonna be divorced asap. Personally, I don't think her ego can fit into any relationship.

  • Wasn't Kim actually Paris' stylist in the beginning? I know I heard that. Stylist turned friend turned spotlight stealer?
